:Patented N0v;15,1910.
wlmssses INVENTOR snr JACOB GASSEL, 0F PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
SHOE-SALESMANS STOOL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 15, 191.0.
'Application filed March 5, 1910. Serial No. 547,560.
To alt whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB GAssnL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Salesmens Stools, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing'.
This invention relates to a shoe salesmans stool, and more particularly to that type of stool used in shoe stores and departments by salesmen for supporting a customers foot while the shoe is being tried or fitted.
The object of the invention is to provide a stool of the above type with a mirror or reflecting plate -that can be easily moved into position to enable a customer to see his or her feet in the mirror while being fitted with shoes, thus relieving a customer of the inconvenience and possible embarrassment of rising and going before a mirror to observe the front appearance of the shoes.
A further object of the invention is to provide a stool of the above type with a mirror that will be normally housed in a safe position until it is desired to use the same, the mirror being easily placed in a useful position when a customer desires to observe the appearance of a fitted shoe.
These and such other objects as may hereinafter appear are attained by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed.
Reference will now be had to the drawing forming a part of this specification, wherein there is illustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that the structural elements thereof can be varied or changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
In the drawing -Figure 1 is a perspective view of a stool constructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsectional view of the same.
In the accompanying drawing the reference numeral 1 denotes a seat for asalesman, said seat being provided with a suitable cushion 2 and supported by legs 3. The front side of the seat 1 is provided with a foot rest 4, which preferably slants downward to the front at an appropriate inclination to afford a comfortable position for the customers foot, the forward end of the rest being supported by a center leg 5, while the top of the rest is provided with a piece of rubber or other material 6 to prevent the customers foot from slipping upon the rest.
' The rest 4 at the juncture of the seat l is provided with a transverse slot 7 and in communication with said slot is the pocket 8 of a casing 9, said casing having the upper edge thereof flanged, as at 10 and suitably secured to the under side of the rest 4. The casing 9 is held in alinement with the. slot 7 by an angularly disposed brace 11 connected to the front side of the casing 9, as at 12 and to the under side of the rest 4, as at 13.
Slidably mounted in the slot 7 and thc pocket 8 of the casing 9 is a frame or backing 14 for a mirror or reflecting plate 15, said mirror or reflecting plate being held in engagement with the frame or backing 14 by a conventional form of fastening means, as putty or a bead 16. The frame or backing 14 is of a length corresponding to the depth of the pocket 8 and the slot 7, whereby the upper edge thereof will be flush with the upper edge of the foot rest 4, the upper edge of said frame or backing 14 being provided with a knob or handle 17, whereby a salesman can easily raise the frame or backing 14 and permit of the mirror or reflecting plate thereof reiiecting the customers foot upon the rest 4.
Vhen the stool is in use, the mirror 15 is convenient to the salesman should the customer desire to observe the front appearance of shoes fitted upon the feet of the customer, and when not in use, the mirror is fully protected by the casing 9. The casing 9 can be made of metal or of a material similar to the stool, and can be disposed at a desired angle whereby a customer can easily observe the appearance of a pair of shoes without removing the feet from the rest 4.
Having now described my invention what I claim as new, is
A shoe salemans stool comprising a seat, supporting means therefor, a rest projecting from said seat and inclining downwardly and provided at its upper terminus with a transversely-extending rectangular slot, a support for .the freeend of the rest, a rectangular casing arranged below the rest and having a bottom, side and end walls and further having an open top extending transversely with respect to the rest and communicating with the opening, means 'connected at one end to the casing and at l its other` end to the lower face of the rest for xedly securing the easing in position7 and a mirror shiftably-Inounted Within the easing and adapted to extend when partially Withdrawn from the easing` through said` opening and transversely of the rest Whereby a customer can observe the front apf pearance of a shoe While being fitted, said 10 casing depending at an inclination With respect to the seat and said slot having its side Walls inclining and forming a continuation of the inner face of the side Walls of the easing.
In testimony whereof I aiX my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
